If studies suggest that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is 0.2 (in absolute terms), and the government wishes to increase cigarette consumption by 25%, how much of a price increase by taxation would be required to bring this about? (60 marks) Is this policy to reduce smoking likely to have: (a) a larger effect in the longer term than in the shorter term? (20 marks) (b) a larger effect on younger smokers than older smokers? (20 marks)

20. A 2014 paper by Grace et al. estimated that the cross-price elasticity between e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes is .16 in their sample of New Zealand smokers. Suppose the New Zealand government wishes to reduce smoking (both traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes) through higher excise taxes on traditional cigarettes. What are the implications of the estimated cross-price elasticity on the effectiveness of the tax policy? a. E-cigs and cigarettes are estimated to be substitute goods. This relationship increases the cigarette tax's...

The estimated price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is -0.4 in high- income countries and -0.8 in lower-income countries. If a country's government raises taxes on cigarettes, the price to consumers goes up. The extra revenue collected from the higher price goes to the government. Would imposing a new tax on cigarettes stop more people from smoking in a high or lower-income country? O The tax would not be very effective at reducing smoking in either country, but it would...
